From casing cleaner to TV star

The slaughterhouse in Horsens had a TV star for a day. Eighteen-year-old Kamilla Mathiasen is participating in the Danish Broadcasting Corporation’s TV youth programme SKUM, where she describes what it is like to work in the casing cleaning department.

- It was slightly weird having a camera crew at such close quarters.

100,000 visitors in Horsens

At precisely 17:02 on 16 June 2009, visitor number 100,000 stepped through the doors at Danish Crown in Horsens.

We have a joint task and a shared responsi- bility

-Kjeld Johannesen | CEO

We have a joint task and a shared responsibility. And we can only see the task through if we believe in it. Reducing Danish Crown’s payroll costs by 20 per cent per kilogramme represents a huge challenge. But we have come a quarter of the way, and I feel confident we can achieve our goal with the rest. You have to think what the alternative is.

Honoured for saving someone's life

In March 2009, the union representative at Danish Crown in Ringsted, Torben Lyngsø, was named First-Aid Helper of the Year 2008 by the Danish Red Cross. Together with the award, he was presented with a cheque for DKK 10,000.

Signs of understanding

Five deaf employees have had the silence broken at their workplace. Their colleagues have learned sign language, so now everyone is able to talk to one another.

They speak with their arms, hands and fingers. Almost silently, they move their lips, signal with their eyes and nod their heads. They understand.

Slaughterhouses' grey gold

More and more Danish Crown employees are choosing to continue working even though they could hang up their tools and stop doing the physically demanding work for ever. This is a trend which follows the latest figures from Statistics Denmark showing that fewer 60 to 62-year-olds are taking early retirement.
